Kyle Wolters and I carved the Rat for Aria’s Year of the Rat 2020. I used Corafoam in an effort to be more environmentally conscious. I am still on the search for a good alternative to EPS foam.
Aria’s Year of the Pig. Sculpture work only. Cupcake presentation for Premier Nighclub. I sculpted the top only for All American Design Center. I made the top of this cupcake by sculpting 4 large buckets of joint compound, covering it with silicone rubber, and using it as a mold to cast Smooth-On’s Smoothcast. It was then covered with reflective beads and gems and affixed to the metal base (which I did not make).
Aria Year of the Dog. Sculpture only.

Industrial arts have taken me in many diverse directions. I have worked extensively in prop fabrication, restoration, decorative and scenic work as a sculptor and painter. I worked three years as a production artist at MGM Resorts Events. Since my resignation to start a family, I have worked freelance for various companies in the valley, and participated in team projects for Hakkasan, LIGHT nightclub, Mandalay Bay’s Red Square, Telltale Games, Electric Daisy Carnival, and musical groups like Dada life, and Major Lazer.
I had the privilage of working with about 15 different scenic painters on the Guardians of The Galaxy ride with Forte Specialty Contractors. We all wished we could’ve constructed the sculptures- they are amazing!

I completed two giant heads for the DJ group, Major Lazer. One is at the Mirage, and the other is taken on tour. This was also done for All American Design Center.

At 8 months pregnant, I oversaw and participated in the construction of this dragon, whose eyes light up, and breaths “smoke.” The chair and overall vision was the project of All American Design Center. I worked with three other sculptor artisans. The skin was created by impressing alligator skin texture on bondo. It was made from foam, cast resin, glass, sculpy, and Smooth-On’s Epsilon coating.
